Polunin also talks to W about making his acting debut as dancer Count Andrenyi in Kenneth Branagh’s remake of Murder on the Orient Express. He shares, “A few months ago, I was sure that I was going to stop dancing to become a good actor. But then when I was by myself for a week, I asked myself, ‘What are you doing? You have that talent. Use it to the fullest.’ And if I can use that talent as well as acting, that’s magical to do both. Would I be happy just to be an actor. I don’t think I would.”
